Canada files response in Grays Bay Road and Port review

ᓇᐃᓈᕐᓗᒍ

The Nunavut Impact Review Board posted a Government of Canada response to information requests on Sept. 23 for the proposed Grays Bay Road and Port project. The filing is a new step in the active review, not approval to build the proposed road or port. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ

NIRB’s new-documents list identifies the Sept. 23 filing as “260923-24XN038-GC Response to IRs-IR3E.pdf” under file 24XN038, Grays Bay Road and Port. The project dashboard continues to list the file as an active review. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ

West Kitikmeot Resources Corp. is seeking approval for a proposed deep-water port, small-craft harbour, supporting port facilities and a 230-kilometre all-season road to Jericho Station. NIRB says the port would be about 180 kilometres east of Kugluktuk. The response is part of the environmental-review record for that proposed infrastructure. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ

NIRB’s dashboard shows the project remains in the information-request stage of its active review. A public hearing, hearing report and ministerial decision remain listed as later process steps; the dashboard does not show that any of those steps has occurred or give a new hearing date. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ
